 Editor's Note
 When boorish frat guys commandeer their humble dorm at Adams College, bespectacled Lewis, shy Gilbert, and the rest of the "nerds" retaliate by forming their own fraternity--and setting their sights on the coveted Greek Council. But it won't be easy, so they'll have to summon their smarts to beat the jocks at their own game. Much better than most films in its teen-sex genre, REVENGE OF THE NERDS features a stellar cast, including Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards (ER), Timorthy Busfield (THE WEST WING), Curtis Armstrong (MOONLIGHTING), Ted McGinley (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), and John Goodman (ROSEANNE).
 Plot Summary
 Close friends Lewis and Gilbert are freshmen at their new college. Unfortunately, they are also nerds to the extreme: horn-rimmed glasses, ill-fitting, mismatched clothes, intelligence galore, etc. Naturally, the curvaceous coeds, juvenile jocks, and infantile frat brothers make their lives, and the lives of their fellow outcasts, a misery. But when the nerds decide to create their own fraternity, sexual and comedic hijinks ensue as the nerds seek vengeance against those who've done them wrong.

 | Revenge of the Nerds (Panty Raid Edition) - DVD By: Edward Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 3/14/2007 2:07 AM | | The movie doesn't always work to the height of Animal House, but watching it in 2006 is in some ways a real time warp. In 1984 teen comedies it was pretty acceptable to set up some very broad stereotypes. The gay guy is, as Homer Simpson would say, Faaaaaa-laaaaaaa-mmming. One of the nerds is named Poindexter. Most have coke bottle glasses with tape in the middle. The one Asian character wouldn't be out of place in one those WWII era Bugs Bunny shorts....read the full review |
